I bring a combination of practical construction experience and operational experience from highly regulated environments. My construction background means I am comfortable with physical work, working outdoors, handling equipment, working at heights and being part of a crew.
My Australian Border Force and corrections experience has developed my discipline, safety awareness, situational awareness, communication and ability to remain calm under pressure. I understand the importance of following procedures, working safely and being reliable in a team. I am looking to start at ground level, learn from experienced people and build the skills needed to become a dependable member of a Drill & Blast crew.
I understand the importance of managing fatigue when travelling interstate for FIFO work. I would plan ahead to ensure I arrive in Perth rested and prepared for the journey to site, allowing time to adjust to the time difference and maintain appropriate sleep before commencing work. I understand that being well-rested and fit for work is essential when working long shifts in safety-critical environments.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my experience, work ethic and willingness to learn could contribute to your Drill & Blast team.
